Since v1.18.3, dragging any file into the Antigravity window triggers a full-window “Upload
to Agent” overlay that intercepts all drop events. This makes it impossible to:
Drag images or files into the integrated terminal
Move files between folders in the file explorer sidebar
Reorganize project assets via drag-and-drop
The overlay covers the entire window frame and cannot be dismissed or bypassed through
normal interaction.
Steps to Reproduce
Open any project in Antigravity v1.18.3+
Drag a file (e.g. an image) from Finder/Explorer toward the terminal or file explorer
sidebar
Observe: a full-screen “Upload to Agent” overlay appears immediately
The file is sent to the agent context instead of being dropped at the intended target
Expected Behavior
Drag-and-drop should work as before:
Dropping a file on the terminal should insert the file path
Dropping a file on a folder in the sidebar should move/copy it there
“Upload to Agent” should only activate when dropping on the agent chat area, or require a
modifier key (e.g. Shift) to distinguish intent
Current Workarounds
Use Cmd+C / Cmd+V to copy files from Finder into Antigravity folders
Right-click folder > “Upload…” context menu
Downgrade to a pre-1.18.3 version (not sustainable long-term)
Suggested Fix
Exclude the file explorer sidebar and terminal from the global dropzone
Or add a modifier key (e.g. hold Shift to upload to agent, default drop = file system
operation)
Or restrict the dropzone to the agent chat panel only
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. We have escalated the issue to our internal teams for a thorough investigation.
To ensure our engineering team can investigate and resolve these issues effectively, we highly recommend filing bug reports directly through the Antigravity in-app feedback tool. You can do this by navigating to the top-right corner of the interface, clicking the Feedback icon, and selecting Report Issue.
Still facing this issue today (1st June 2026) my workaround is to use cmd + option + c on the image to copy the path and pasting it into Codex CLI/Claude Code on the terminal
Would love this to be fixed as i enjoy using Antigravity otherwise
antigravity’s dev really asking us to not using their IDE anymore. with a lot of bugs and never been fixed for months. and the solution always downgrade / doing some weird unrelated stuff.
When I drag an image from Finder into the Antigravity window, a full-window "Upload to Agent" overlay appears and captures the drop. I cannot drop an image into the integrated terminal, where I run Claude Code CLI. The terminal receives nothing.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Antigravity IDE on macOS, open the integrated terminal.
2. Start a CLI agent in it (I run `claude`).
3. Drag an image file from Finder over the terminal panel.
4. The "Upload to Agent" overlay appears. After the drop, nothing is inserted into the terminal.
Expected: dropping a file on the terminal inserts its path, as in VS Code. "Upload to Agent" should apply only over Antigravity's own agent panel, or require a modifier key.
Actual: the overlay intercepts all drops in the window. Holding Shift does not help in the terminal (it does help in the Claude Code extension chat panel).
Workaround: copy the file path in Finder (Cmd+Option+C) and paste it into the terminal.
Environment: macOS 27.0.1, Antigravity IDE 2.5.5
